Meet The Counsellors

Spencer Hickson
Founder & Counsellor

I am a DJ, producer and record label owner. I’m also a counsellor, providing talking therapy. Recently I completed my degree in person-centred counselling at Derby University. I live in Cheshire with my girlfriend and her three children.

My counselling placement began working at a high school in Nantwich, where I counselled many children from the ages of 12 up. At the high school in Nantwich I envisioned a future helping the children of today for a brighter tomorrow. I saw an opportunity to combine counselling and my passion for music.

During my final year of study I undertook a dissertation, researching counselling in schools. Through my research I discovered that there was a huge need for counselling with young people. My research looked at how mental health issues were growing and that something needs to be done. My research also highlighted that there isn’t enough support for young people. A lack of support means young people may have to live in silence with a problem before any help is ever offered. One 15 year old boy I worked with in his last year of high school said, he wouldn’t have got through the year without counselling.
